My EDC Kit Changed! || Building An ACTUALLY Useful EDC Kit And How You Can Too.

My EDC kit was huge and rarely used. Now... In pocket, knife and Maxpedition coin pouch holding keys to not scratch my knife. Band aid in wallet. EDC kit is a Maxpedition micro organizer with charger cord, Tylenol, backup pocket knife, small Victorinox to have toothpick and tweezers, etc., Fisher space pen, note cards, a zip tie, cash, small spork and Streamlight micro light. Keeping it simple.

Zac you’re the best buddy, I’m sitting here watching this video wondering how to refine my edc kit and it hit me. I should have earplugs in there too….the tinnitus is off the charts in my right ear from shooting boom sticks with no protection in my teenage years. That would be the most used and replenished item in there 100%. Also I’m going to wrap my extra bic with a bunch of electrical tape cause why not! Thanks Jamie! Happy new year from Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦

Something EVERYONE forgets to mention as part of their EDC (if they wear them,) are their GLASSES. If ya know ya know. Great kit!

I love your “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” mantra, a prevalent theme throughout your entire EDC. It’s definitely a refreshing change from all the constant promotion of useless junk 😅 I’ll admit I’ve gotten carried away at times, like most of us in this community, but I always seem to come back to the tried and true 😁 Great content as always ! 🫶🏽

I carry a satchel and it works really well for me. I carry a LOT, and I use almost everything pretty frequently. I carry a first aid kit, a laptop(sometimes), chapstick, wrench, paracord, ferro rod, compass, spork, electrical tape, battery pack a couple different chords, gloves, bible, journal, sharpie, and deodorant.

Another great video. My only issue is the rolling square. I have 2 long and short versions, if you have a case on your device you might not be able to plug the cable in as the charger is too wide. It is great other than that.

Those little round, orange matchstick holders found in the camp section of stores like Walmart are perfect for holding Tums. They hold 12 tablets and cost about $1.

Great kit, might I suggest an Ifixit Minnow as well. It's compact en out to almost fit in that little coin pocket on a Jean so it doesn't take up much space, but it's got practically every type of screwdriver bit that you'll need on a day to day basis, I often forget I have it with me, but it's saved me quite a few times

The world needs a day in the life video showing how you use the stuff you carry around with you daily. I’m super curious.

Super great kit! I find when it comes to an edc kit, it's always those small items that can come in super handy. Like the electrical tape or spork. You might have mentioned it and I missed it, but I always include some zip ties, some string or microcode, and gorilla tape. I have a small edc kit that I carry everyday on my belt. Not as big or thorough as yours, but it works for me and I always find something to use from it most days. I've been carrying the CRKT Piet lately. It's a great little knife. But I really like the Pilar too.

I am always fascinated by other people's EDC kits. I am a frequent traveler so have a flight friendly kit as well. Great video. Thanks.

One thing I have added recently. Shoe laces. I have paracord on all of my boots, but my Vans are rocking regular laces. Super cheap, so I have a few pairs stashed here and there.

If Zac was a multitool, he’d be the Swiss Champ XXL… you’ve got one of everything! Love your videos brother.

One thing I always carry with me in my wallet is a very small thing of eyedrops. And I never see people really having those in their kits and a lot of times if I rub my eyes, my eye will start to bother me like something that was on my hand, got in my eye And it just helps to be able to wash my eye out or sometimes you just inadvertently get something in there and it helps to have a little bit of eyewash with you to clean out whatever’s in there. I rarely ever see anybody having that in their kit.even in first aid kits, the small ones anyway you don’t really see them too much or even at all and for me it’s a super important thing to carry on me.

Hey Zac, love the content and your edc kit. FYI, colored electrical tape (other than black) will not leave gummy residue all over whenever you use it for stuff (bandaid, wiring etcetera).

I think the thing you're missing is a little plastic container for those loose batteries. They have ones that hold 4 AA size. Then you don't have to worry about them discharging prematurely as much.

Nice kit brother. I also carry a 2 (or 3) part EDC. Basically small, medium and large come to work everyday, with the small clipped onto me (VETO MP1X). But let's be honest here, my EDC evolves almost weekly. Outside of real life tasks and work, changing around all my EDCs is kinda like me playing with my toys and is a fun hobby in and of itself. Thank you for the content again my dude.

Haha I use the exact same pouch, for all the crap I used to keep in my pockets! Clip two Nite Ize SideLock #4 Carabina into the webbing loops on the back that the shoulder stap attaches to. That way you can clip it to a jean pocket by one capabina so you don't forget it when you stand up from a benchbin a public place. Connect both carabinas to you belt and you can wear it as a belt pouch and putting it on and off only takes 5 seconds (the carabinas have to be orientated the right way so the clip over your belt. Then finally I cut off the supplied hook closure things off the supplied shoulder strap and now I just slip the shoulder strap end loops over the Nite Ize carabinas to attach it to the pouch, less fiddly than the original so easy to reconfigure.

I carry that Alpaka Elements tech case. It works really well. I am not crazy about the strap though - it's too narrow and isn't comfortable. While it is not very uncomfortable either. I wouldn't take it on a day tramp though as it would bother me. Other than that great little pouch/sling. I like what you said about using the stuff in the kit. A while back I found I was carrying stuff that I wasn't using so I removed it from my kit. One good example was the Gerber Shard. Over 2 years I never used it once and the sharp point on it kept making holes in my pocket.

Ngl amigo, i think your channel and knife centers channel is what convinced me to love knives again. Ive always done edc knives but 9/10 i was always just carrying cheap gas station knives. My old schrade buck 110 copy was probably the fanciest thing i owned. But after getting into knives me and my dad finally had a shared passion. And our bond grew from that (now hes given me pretty much every cool knife he owns 😂) but the coolest thing hes given me was his custom randall made diver that he aquired when someone stabbed him with it back when he was a young man. Neither of us really knew what he had until i did some research. I just knew it was a reallllly well made knife. Now that i know what its worth im mad about how weve treated it over the years 😂😂 the tip has been dulled to shit, the handle is all scarred from using it as a makeshift hammer, the steel is all scarred up from me learning how to shapen on it. But i love it to death and i really wish a replacement sheath wasnt 300 bucks 😂😂 one day id love to bring it to someone who knows what theyre doing to have it restored a bit and brought back to its former glory when im a bit more financially stable 😂
